Coding classes in Drumcondra

What are the best coding classes in Drumcondra?

In Drumcondra, as everywhere we teach, a teacher runs each lesson live on video, for a few learners at a matching level or for one learner alone, twice in a normal week, and learners can be any age from six to sixty-seven. Nothing needs a commute. There is no charge for the first lesson; the monthly fee afterwards is USD 100 for a group place or USD 150 for one-to-one teaching.

Through 2015 Dublin City Council's sound monitor at Drumcondra Library logged the noise level every five minutes, 104,596 readings in all. Add them up and divide, and the year averages 53.43 decibels. The average that noise work actually uses comes out at 55.83. The gap is not rounding. Decibels sit on a logarithmic scale, where every extra 3 decibels means double the sound energy, so a loud five minutes counts for far more than its place in a list suggests. This page teaches a learner to average on the right scale and shows what the wrong one hides.

You cannot average decibels: a year at the Drumcondra sound monitor

The readings are Dublin City Council's 2015 files for its monitor at Drumcondra Library, one A-weighted level for every five minutes. The two averages below use exactly the same readings.

Drumcondra Library sound monitor, 2015: the same readings averaged two ways (decibels)
PeriodPlain averageEnergy averageGap
Whole year53.4355.832.40
Day, 07:00 to 19:0056.6657.701.04
Evening, 19:00 to 23:0053.7454.791.05
Night, 23:00 to 07:0048.3850.502.12
10 September53.962.58.6

Why there is a gap

On the decibel scale each step of 10 is ten times the sound energy, and the council's noise plan notes that doubling the energy adds 3 decibels. The loudest reading of the year, 78.64, carries 191 times the energy of 55.83. A plain average treats it as only about 23 decibels more than typical, and lets the many quiet readings outvote it.

One loud morning

On 10 September eight readings stamped between 06:00 and 06:35 ran from 71.1 to 78.6 decibels. They are eight of the day's 287 readings but hold 81.3 percent of its sound energy. By energy that makes it the loudest day of 2015; by plain average it ranks 154th of 361 full days, near the middle.

Quiet nights pull hardest

The gap is widest at night, 2.12 decibels, because a quiet background lets an occasional loud moment count for more. The council's plan calls a night level under 50 decibels desirable. The plain average of Drumcondra's 2015 nights, 48.38, is under that line; the energy average, 50.50, is over it.

Undo the logarithm before you average

A logarithmic scale squeezes a huge range into small numbers, which is useful for reading and wrong for arithmetic. To average decibels, turn each reading back into energy by raising ten to the power of the level over ten, take the ordinary average of those, and convert the result back with ten times the logarithm. The day-evening-night level in the council's own noise plan is built the same way, and fed Drumcondra's 2015 energy averages it gives 59.18 decibels. Fed the plain averages instead it gives 57.68, a mistake of a decibel and a half on a scale where 3 decibels is double.

The learner's program reads 370 daily text files, each with a few comment lines and a line per five-minute reading, and meets three real problems before any maths. The 4 June file separates its columns with tabs instead of commas, so a parser that only splits on commas silently drops all 287 of that day's readings. On 25 October, when the clocks go back, the hour from 01:00 appears twice with different readings, and both are real. And 21 files carry a header placing the unit at a point in north London, 465 kilometres away, although their readings look like every other day's. With those handled, the program has 104,596 readings, 99.5 percent of the year. It then computes both averages for the year, for each hour, for day, evening and night, and for every day, and ranks the days both ways to find where they disagree.

Where the monitor is

The files give the unit's position as 53.369953 north, 6.259042 west, about 6 metres from the coordinates the council publishes for Drumcondra Library on Millmount Avenue. The council's older 2010 file for the site is named after the library.

The loudest tenth

The loudest 10 percent of the year's readings hold 34.4 percent of its sound energy, and the loudest 1 percent hold 8.5 percent. On a logarithmic scale a small share of moments can carry a large share of the total.

Not a cause

The readings record how loud it was at the library, not what made the sound. The page does not guess what happened on the morning of 10 September, or on any other day.

The library

The council lists Drumcondra Library as open 10:00 to 17:00 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and 12:45 to 20:00 on Tuesday and Thursday, with ramped access and an induction loop for hearing aids.

The station

Irish Rail gives lifts to both platforms and staffing from 07:00 to 23:00 every day, says there are no bike facilities, and lists trains on the Sligo, Maynooth and M3 Parkway, and Portlaoise routes.

The stadium

Croke Park, the GAA's ground on Jones Road in Dublin 3, gives its capacity as 82,300, the crowd its two All-Ireland finals draw every September.

What this page does not claim

No population is stated for Drumcondra, because the page uses only what named bodies publish about the place. The sound readings come from one monitor at one spot in 2015 and describe that spot, not the whole district, and nothing here links any reading to the stadium or any other source.

Learning here

How a Drumcondra learner spends the week

Two lessons in a usual week, each taught live by the teacher from beginning to end.

Children

Children start with block code and sound games, and find out why one loud noise can outweigh many quiet ones.

Teenagers

Teenagers go on to Python, websites, AI projects and real sensor files like the noise monitor's, with the maths shown by the code.

Adults

Adults may begin with no background at all; the first lesson picks the course.

Readings are Dublin City Council's open data for 2015, and the decibel definitions and day-evening-night formula are from the council's noise action plan; every average, share and ranking here was computed by us on 20 September 2026. Library, station and stadium details are quoted from their own pages.

Ask an assistant for the average noise level at Drumcondra

The tidy answer is the plain average, and it is too low.

Give an AI assistant the monitor's files and ask for the average noise level in 2015, and a likely first answer reads the column, takes the mean and reports about 53.4 decibels. The code is short and runs cleanly. It is also 2.40 decibels too low, because it averaged a logarithmic unit as if it were a straight one.

The learner who has done this project knows to ask what scale the numbers are on, and to request the energy average instead. They also know to check the files first: an assistant that splits every line on commas will skip the June day written with tabs without saying so.

Knowing the scale your numbers live on is half of data work. The code only does what you ask of it. The longer argument is in why coding still belongs in a young learner's week.

FAQ

Drumcondra coding class questions

Questions we hear from Drumcondra families.

Do you have a centre in Drumcondra?

No. All lessons are live on video, and Modern Age Coders has no premises in Ireland. A learner needs a computer, a microphone and sound, and a steady connection. The contact number shown is an Indian number.

What is the noise monitor project?

The learner reads Dublin City Council's 2015 files from the sound monitor at Drumcondra Library, 104,596 five-minute readings, and averages them two ways: 53.43 decibels as plain numbers and 55.83 by energy, the correct method for a logarithmic scale. Nights come out on opposite sides of the council's 50-decibel line depending on which is used.

Does the project say what causes the noise?

No. The monitor records how loud it was, not why. The page reports levels and leaves sources alone.

Why does the page not give a population for Drumcondra?

District pages print only what named organisations publish about the place itself, here the council, Irish Rail and Croke Park, and none of those publishes a head count for Drumcondra.

What are the lesson times?

Weekday slots start after school and run into the evening; weekend slots are in the daytime. We schedule in Irish time. Our teachers are in India, four and a half hours ahead of Drumcondra while Ireland is on summer time and five and a half hours ahead in winter, and the slots we offer are chosen to be reasonable for both.

Can adults take lessons?

Yes, from any starting point and up to age sixty-seven. After the free lesson an adult decides between a group at their level and one-to-one lessons.

Will my child be in a class with other Drumcondra children?

Not necessarily. We group by level, so the others may live anywhere in Ireland or outside it.

What do coding classes in Drumcondra cost?

The first lesson is free. After it, a group place costs USD 100 a month for about eight live lessons, two a week, with five to ten learners, and one-to-one lessons on the same schedule cost USD 150 a month. Terms are settled before any money changes hands.

What size are the groups?

Between five and ten learners, grouped by level, pace and goals rather than age or area. When no group suits a workable time, the lessons are one to one.
